Everything about Bubonic Plague totally explained
Bubonic plague is the best-known manifestation of the bacterial disease
plague, caused by the bacterium
Yersinia pestis.
Pathology and transmission
Bubonic plague is an infection of the
lymphatic system, which can affect the heart, usually resulting from the bite of an infected
flea. It uses rodents as its reservoirs. The bacteria rapidly spread to the lymph nodes and multiply.
Yersinia pestis can resist phagocytosis and even reproduce inside
phagocytes and kill them. As the disease progresses, the lymph nodes can
hemorrhage and become
necrotic. Bubonic plague can progress to lethal
septicemic plague in some cases. In rare cases, it can be spread by human faeces. One of the chief symptoms of this plague is swollen lymph nodes, called
buboes. They are commonly found in the armpits and groin.
